Disingenuous Media Cites Boehner's 1996 Statement on Minimum Wage

The media is too eager for headlines and are too willing to propagate the talking points and planted stories by the White House and Democrat party propaganda machine. Distractions from White House failures domestically and internationally seem to be the intent and disinformation is their style. 

 Headline From The Hill:

Boehner: Suicide over minimum wage hike

 Speaker John Boehner is so against raising the minimum wage that he once said he would rather commit suicide than vote for a “clean” increase.

 Boehner once said it.....  when?

Boehner in 1996: I'd Rather Kill Myself Than Raise the Minimum Wage

Speaker John Boehner is so against raising the minimum wage that he once said he would rather commit suicide than vote for a “clean” increase.
The Ohio Republican and son of a barkeep has repeatedly opposed federally mandated hike increases, which have been a constant in the Democrats’ election-year playbook.

 Not only did the media dredge up a really old statement from 18 years ago, the minimum wage had already been increased as part of a 3 step increase.  The significance of 2007, that is the year the Democrats controlled the House and Senate.

At the federal level, the minimum wage was last increased on July 24, 2009, when it rose from $6.55 to $7.25 per hour, the last step of a three-step increase approved by Congress in 2007.  However, before 2007

Leftists Peddle PAC Meme to Push for Public Campaign Cash

Left aims to gain ground on super-PACs

By Kevin Bogardus - 02/04/14 03:20 PM EST  excerpt from: TheHill

Alarmed by the rise of super-PACs, major allies of the Democratic Party are rallying behind new legislation that would provide federal matching funds for small-dollar donations.

Groups like Sierra Club, Communications Workers of America and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee are endorsing legislation from Rep. John Sarbanes (D-Md.) that would offer tax credits to campaign donors as well as matching funds to candidates who forgo traditional PAC contributions.

Other major liberal groups are expected to line up behind the bill as well. 

“We are sick and tired of seeing money from a small section of multimillionaire donors drown out our voice across the board,” said Courtney Hight, director of the democracy program at the Sierra Club, told The Hill. “Issue-based groups that have not traditionally gotten into the fight over campaign finance are now seeing the threat to our democracy.”

 Your emotionally overwrought shrieks from the left are being drown out by the evil, rich Republican millionaires? Really?

Reversing trend, Democrats top the list of biggest super PAC donors

The rumors are true: Democrats have learned to love the super PAC.

Sunlight's review of year end filings finds that, in a reversal of last cycle's trend, the top two individual donors to super PACs in 2013 (by a long shot) both lean Democratic. Former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who ran as an Independent, and California billionaire hedge fund  manager-turned-environmentalist Tom Steyer combined to account for nearly $20 million in donations to groups pushing their respective policy agendas nationwide

Imagine that, the Democrats want public funding for their populist propaganda machine, how progressive.
